The Core Worlds
The Core Worlds are the cluster of systems that lie at the center of the sector, housing the vast majority of the sector's human population and industry. All markets interactable at the start of the game are located in the Core Worlds, although small settlements exist outside, in the form of decivilized population. In the age of the Domain, the Core Worlds were the heart of the sector, which spanned the entire Persean Sector as a result of a mass-colonisation effort. For over 200 cycles, the survivors of the Collapse have been struggling over the remains of civilisation, hanging on to what little remains of the Domain's former dominance that was shattered with the loss of the Gates.
While the rest of the sector is randomly generated, the Core Worlds are always identical, with fixed names, position, and faction ownership. 24 systems compose the cluster, each home to members of the various factions; the Hegemony, Tri-Tachyon, the Persean League, the Luddic Church, and the Sindrian Diktat, in addition to the Independent coalition and unaligned Pirates.
Star Systems
Almost all systems are inhabited at the start of the game. Duzahk, Penelope's Star, and the Tia-Ta'xet binary system are uninhabited, but are still claimed (Penelope's Star by Luddic Church and the other two by Hegemony). Attempting to establish a colony in the Core Worlds will typically result in bombardment by a controlling or claiming faction.
